Book and lyrics by Barry Harman

Based on the screenplay by Ron Shelton & Clayton Frohman
This world-premiere musical by Barry Harman (The Carol Burnett Show, Romance/Romance,
Olympus On My Mind) and Grant Sturiale
(Olympus On My Mind, Radio City Christmas
Spectacular) will close freeFall’s 18/19 season.
Under Fire was inspired by real events during
the Nicaraguan Revolution in 1979. It poses
important questions about the role the press
plays during conflicts abroad. Is it possible to
remain an unbiased observer? Are there moral
justifications for a reporter to take sides in a
conflict? When objectivity is sacrificed, what
are the consequences?
In an age when traditional journalism with
its code of ethics finds itself at odds with
numerous other forms of information and
propaganda on the internet, the themes and
dilemmas of Under Fire are perhaps even
more relevant now than ever.
